API changes
* The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() no longer accept NIST_KW contexts,
as they have no way to check if the output buffer is large enough.
Please use mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext() instead. Credit to OSS-Fuzz and
Cryptofuzz. Fixes #3665.
Security
* The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() would write past the minimum documented
size of the output buffer when used with NIST_KW. As a result, code using
those functions as documented with NIST_KW could have a buffer overwrite
of up to 15 bytes, with consequences ranging up to arbitrary code
execution depending on the location of the output buffer.
New deprecations
* The functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt() and
mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt() are deprecated in favour of the new
functions mbedtls_cipher_auth_encrypt_ext() and
mbedtls_cipher_auth_decrypt_ext(). Please note that with AEAD ciphers,
these new functions always append the tag to the ciphertext, and include
the tag in the ciphertext length.
